Dental amalgam is a silver dental filling material used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay. Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper.

The issue of safety of dental amalgam fillings has been a controversial topic in the news for quite some time.

The FDA, World Health Organization and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention have all reviewed the best available scientific evidence and determined that dental amalgam fillings are safe.

The ADA policy remains on the basis of research available that the use of dental amalgam has no harmful effects.

The choice of filling materials completely depends on the patient’s choice.
